Master of Science Degree - Chemistry & Chemical Biology
Thirty credits are required for the M.S. degree. The Study Plan for the M.S. must include the core courses. Although a thesis is not required, except for students on graduate appointments, students are encouraged to undertake a thesis (Ch 900) for at least five credits, or a Special Research Problem (Ch 800) for 3 credits.
